LIFELINE ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
\nOVERVIEW<\/p>\n
Society has expectations for when certain events will occur or when certain roles will be filled. Often, these expectations are culturally determined or cohort dependent. This activity will challenge you to think about age-normative expectations for three family cohorts. You will recognize the changing social context through the lifespan and apply knowledge about adult roles to your own family.<\/p>\n
Based on interviews with two family members, you will construct three lifelines: one for yourself, and two for family members. Then, you will compare\/contrast the timing of important life events and social roles.<\/p>\n
INSTRUCTIONS
\nChoose interview subjects. To construct the lifelines, you should interview your same-sex parent and grandparent (either in person or over the phone). If for some reason you cannot interview these individuals, you should choose another same-sex relative from the same generation (i.e., uncle instead of father, or great-aunt instead of grandmother). If you are uncertain of what to do, contact the instructor. Pick people to interview. You should talk to your same-sex parent and grandparent to build the lifelines (either in person or over the phone). If you can’t talk to these people, you should talk to another same-sex family member from the same generation (i.e., uncle instead of father, or great-aunt instead of grandmother). If you’re not sure what to do, talk to the teacher.<\/p>\n
Conduct the interview in the following manner:
\n\u2022\tTo introduce the task, say something like, \u201cI am doing an assignment for my class in adult development, and I would like to ask you some questions about your life\u2014the events that were important to you, and any turning points.\u201d
\n\u2022\tBegin the question with: \u201cLet\u2019s begin with your childhood, from your early years until 8th grade. As you look back, what were some significant events?\u201d
\no\tFor each event, be sure to find out how old the person was at the time.
\no\t\u201cPick out one event that was particularly important for you during this period of your life. What was it? How did it affect the direction of your life (what happened as a result? What was different?)?\u201d
\n\u2022\tAsk the same questions for each subsequent life stage:
\no\thigh school years
\no\tyoung adulthood (18-29)
\no\tearly middle adulthood (30-44)
\no\tlate middle adulthood (45-64)
\no\tsince turning 65
\n\u2022\tAsk questions about common life events. Ask your relative about these events if he or she has not already mentioned them. You can ask, \u201cNow let me ask you about some other specific events, and when they happened in your life. How old were you when you\u2026\u201d?

\n\u2022\tDiscover any more historical events.
\no\tTo see if your relative has not yet talked about specific historical events, ask:
\n\uf0a7\t\u201cWhat were some other important historical events in your life, besides the ones you\u2019ve mentioned already?\u201d
\n\uf0a7\tFor each event, find out how old your relative was at the time.
\n\uf0a7\t\u201cWhich event had the most impact on you?\u201d
\n\uf0a7\t\u201cHow did it affect your life?\u201d
\n\u2022\tThank your relative for helping with this assignment.<\/p>\n
Construct the lifelines. After completing the interviews, you\u2019ll need to draw the lifelines. You will construct three lifelines: one for you, one for your same-sex parent, and one for your same sex grandparent. The lifelines should be constructed on one or two pieces of paper. Plot a line from birth to your relatives\u2019 current ages, marking out time at every 10-year intervals. Place along the line all the events your relative mentioned at the ages they took place. For your lifeline, the period up to the present should be written in black ink. Then, plot events that you expect to take place in your future in red ink. You should include normative life events and perhaps a few non-normative events.<\/p>\n
Write the summary. After completing the lifelines, write a brief summary (two pages) of your observations. The summary should include:
\n\u2022\tTwo or three important life events for each of your relatives and how those events impacted him or her.
\n\u2022\tA comparison of your lifeline and your relatives\u2019 lifelines. What are the similarities and differences in the timing of events between your relatives and you, and what are possible reasons for those similarities and differences?<\/p>\n
Paper format:
\n\u2022\tThree lifelines
\n\u2022\tTwo-page summary
\n\u2022\tTimes New Roman, 12-point font, 1\u201d margins.
\n\u2022\tSections:
\no\tsummary of life events for both relatives
\no\tcomparison of your lifeline to your relatives\u2019 lifelines
\n\u2022\tAvoid 2nd person pronouns (you, your, etc.) unless you are quoting your participant. First person is allowed for this assignment.
\n\u2022\tYou must use MS Word and submit your paper to Turnitin in Canvas.
\n\u2022\tName your file as \u201cLast name 235\u201d.<\/p>\n
